Well, I can compare my R/T v.s. my Sport.

R/T= regular cab
Sport= regular cab, 4.7L, 5-speed and 3.92 gear

When bone stock, my R/T ran a best of 15.02@92 mph...
When modified with F&B TB, 14x3 K&N, ram-air hood, 3" exhaust and Mopar PCM
it ran a best of 14.67@95 mph.

I never timed the Sport before I modified it, but with just a cold air
intake, ported TB (my own) and a 3" Flowmaster w/duals, I rapped off a
14.42@96 mph on the Stalker Pro w/ATS last week. That's with bald RSA's and
2300 miles showing on the ODO. The 4.7L has alot of low end and mid range but
the upper pull isn't that great (but much improved over stock)
